Legend of Asia gives this ginger jar a spiraling twist, with ribs turning around the body and a carved lotus motif lifting at the shoulder. The warm orange vase glaze catches in the relief and lightens along each ridge, an effect that only comes from a hand shaped, hand finished piece. With its fitted cover in place, the decorative jar is well proportioned for mantel decor, a dining table center or a console beside a lamp. Fired at high heat, the porcelain jar is hard and water tight, so this handmade jar can also stand on a covered porch through the season. As a lidded jar it keeps small treasures out of sight, and as a color accent it warms rooms where cool blue chinoiserie decor would feel flat, joining broader asian decor with an unexpected note.
